Put me in the luddite camp - I want no more than absolutely necessary. I want zero decisions made for me aside from the calculations that occur between the confuser & torque sensor. Don't want a deluge of data. I'd stick on a bike computer if I wanted that.
I want ZERO connectivity beyond possible firmware updates. And those should be wired. No connected anything. I'm using a Gen 4 Bosch mid-drive with a Purion system & it's just about perfect. It just works. No gimicks - every function needs to be there. No connection to phone, internet, AI, or the mothership that may want to change my experience or collect my data. No updates in years & that's the way I wanna keep it. Simple.
Err, maybe one need that's evolving due to the epidemic of electric motorcycles and overpowered 'other' that think they're supposed to be on bike paths. Rear RADAR that will pick up bikes is becoming a need. Garmin's solution (which seems to be the only one that really works) is pretty expensive.
